I am obsessed with reality TV.  Those of you that have been reading for any length of time already know this.  For those of you just joining, see here and here for more evidence.

I have a new favorite reality show.  Sister Wives.

Have any of you been watching???  It is reality TV at its finest.  Fascinating.

It kind of makes me want some sister wives.

Except for the fact that I believe polygamy is not God's plan... it sounds like a great idea {at first glance}.

I don't know how many times I have said I need a laundry fairy and someone to buy my groceries.  Maybe if I had a sister wife, she would be really into laundry and grocery shopping.

And let's be honest ladies... having a sister wife to share your "wifely duties" wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

But then I am reminded of what it was like having female roommates in college,

and it makes me never ever want to have a sister wife.

Don't get me wrong.  I loved my college roommates {well, most of them... I had a total of 18 in four years}, but it is hard to live with women.  We are temperamental, emotional, jealous and hormonal.

I love my employees.  Love them.  But there are days when I am ready for all the estrogen to go home for the day.

The first episode of this show made everything seem like daisies and roses in the world of polygamy.  The wives all talked about how wonderful it is having help raising their children, and how fantastic it is that they have such great relationships with each other... blah, blah, blah.

Cut to episode two.  Enter wife number 4.  True feelings are coming out.  Women are crying.

This is going to be a great season.

{Does that make me sound horrible???  It kind of does, doesn't it?  Shoot.  I just really like this show.}

Something Important

Alright... enough of all this serious business talk.  It's time to talk about something important.

Something near and dear to my heart.

Something I hope will make you all want to join the discussion.

Reality TV.

My favorite thing about summer is that we usually get a lot of great reality TV in the summer.

Right now we've got some of my very favorites: Top Chef, Project Runway, Bethenny Getting Married? {although the season finale was last night, which I haven't had a chance to watch yet... sad}, Wipeout {this is definitely Beau's favorite}, Top Shot, The Colony... did I lose you all on those last two?

But let's talk about the serious part now.

Does anyone else hate it when they change the system on your favorite reality competition shows? First of all Project Runway... do we really need an extra half an hour???  I hate to admit that the last few seasons I have mostly fast-forwarded through the middle making-the-outfits part.  I like when they tell them what they have to make... and then I like to see what they made.  The extra thirty minutes so that we can now watch what the contestants say to each other every time someone comes back from the runway... so not necessary.  It was hard enough for me to retain control of the remote for an hour... now I have to try to hold on to it for an hour and a half!  Not helping Project Runway!  And what's with the "how many should we send home tonight?" twist?  I don't like it.  And while we're on Project Runway, for Brooke's sake I must say... what is up with Heidi's hair???  {Brooke has devoted several Facebook status updates to this topic.}  It looks like a wig.

Okay, done with my Project Runway rant.  And admittedly, I think this season has more really talented people than they ever have before, so don't worry... an hour or ninety minutes... I'll be watching.

Now... here's what I need from you... am I missing any great reality TV?  Since I'm sure 99% of you have no idea what Top Shot {the History Channel... yes, one of Nathan's favorite channels}or The Colony {the Discovery Channel} are... it's your turn to tell me what I am missing.  

Is there some great reality TV that is being overlooked in the Blakely household?

And now that  I think about it, I think I missed an entire season of one of my absolute favorites, Tori and Dean.  

I better check on that.  Gosh... do you think they are available online???
